Sohu quoted an unnamed insider, saying that "content that didn't meet requirements" was the issue. "Skeleton characters" (already largely removed from the existing Chinese version of WOW) and "a city raid" were singled out for censors' opprobrium.

I find it singular that the Chinese government has a problem with city raids. These, for people who do not play wow, are where a group of people band together to go to an enemy city and kill the leader of that city.

I read this as the leaders of China being concerned about the game not promoting harmony amongst the people who play it. An undertone though is that it does not promote harmony in the Chinese leaders with whom civilians may not be entirely happy.

I am a fan of Left 4 Dead, but I had to smirk when their weekend deal they just had listed the game for 24.99 and right underneath that gave you the option to buy four copies for 149.99, only 50 dollars more than four individual copies.

Oh man I am so psyched for this. I just hope valve finally implements a filter to be able to avoid customized servers. It was irritating to have to deal with when I played TF2 a lot, it is irritating in Left4Dead.

Nothing had ruined L4D games faster for me than to get onto a server that has music playing over the game that cannot be turned off.

I hate cheesing in the one entrance rooms. Not only does it feel like it is breaking the spirit of the game, it can also be dangerous.

No pipe bombs in the group due to an extreme paucity of grenade drops, we huddled in a bathroom and waited out the zombie waves. We got slimed and trapped in the bathroom just as they were tapering off- and then the tank was blocking our only exit, cracking his ridiculously big knuckles.
